Ambassador To Be Confirmed
Make peak August yours with a five-star family football holiday on Kos at IKOS Aria. From Monday 16 August to Friday 20 August 2027, the five-star IKOS Aria in Kos, Greece opens its doors to Football Escapes families for a week of world-class coaching, five-star hospitality, and the kind of time together your family will remember for years.
Late August at IKOS Aria is Kos at full tilt. The island settles into its end-of-summer rhythm, the weather stays reliable, and the resort feels like a final big celebration before the season starts to wind down.
Coaching runs every weekday morning with a top professional ambassador (to be confirmed for 2027) and our team of UEFA-licensed coaches on a pristine pitch at the heart of the resort. While your child is training, the morning is yours. The afternoon and evening are for the family to enjoy together.
Football is the heart of the week, but it is a holiday for everyone. The week builds from the first session on Monday to the medal ceremony on Friday, with a Parents' Game, ambassador Q&As, FE Games Night, and plenty of moments your kids will still be talking about on the flight home.
No two Football Escapes weeks are the same. Around the morning sessions, we run a programme of extras that can include parent challenges, pool games with the coaches, padel with the ambassador, golf for the grown-ups, and the occasional yoga class for whoever fancies it. The schedule shifts week to week. Ask us about your week and we will walk you through it.
Who is the 2027 ambassador for this week? That is the question. We have worked with World Cup winners, Premier League legends and current internationals in the past, and our 2027 line-up is being locked in now. Booking before the reveal is the only way to secure your child's place.
Why this week? August at IKOS Aria is the height of Greek summer on Kos, long sunny days, calm Aegean waters, and a five-star family stay. With only 25 places on each course, the experience feels personal from day one.
How it works
You book your full holiday through Football Escapes and we take care of everything. That includes your stay at IKOS Aria, access to the football course, and flights if you need them. One booking, one point of contact, no hassle.
Family holidays are usually 7 nights or more, with the Football Course running Monday to Friday in the morning. Afternoons and evenings are entirely yours to enjoy as a family. Each course has a capacity of just 25 children, so places go quickly, and the only way to guarantee your child's place is to book your holiday stay through Football Escapes.
This is more than a football camp. It is a once-in-a-lifetime family holiday. Reserve your place at IKOS Aria for 16 to 20 Aug 2027 today.
